“Save Some for the Rest of Us”: Woman Puts Cousin’s Teen Son on Blast for Hoarding Dinner—and Her Dad Is Furious

Hey, kid, save some for the rest of us!

Let me ask you a question: have you ever been at a meal with a group of people and one person eats WAY too much food and doesn’t take the other diners into consideration?

I sure have!

And it’s pretty rude…even if the person in question happens to be young.

In today’s story, a woman explained why she decided to put a teenager in his place because he wasn’t leaving enough food for the rest of the folks at this particular gathering.

Let’s see what’s going on here!

AITA for telling a kid he’s eating too much?

“I was on vacation with my cousin and her kid (18M).

On the last night we had homemade fajitas. We usually eat a lot and therefore make a few pounds of them.

After they are cooked we slice them up to where you only can fit a few slices in a tortilla.

Slow down, Tex!

My cousin’s son had about 10 slices of fajita meet on one tortilla. For context a few in my mind is like 3 or 4.

Now I’m not knocking how much he is eating but he left only a little left when everyone else, 5 other people, hadn’t had any.

I jokingly said “did ya get enough?”

He laughed.

I looked at my father because I didn’t know what to do.

Well, she wasn’t lying…

He motioned for me to say something so I said that he had too much meat because everyone else needed to eat and he didn’t leave enough.

He got mad and stormed off. I feel bad.

AITA?”
